If you’re planning to bust out that ice cream maker this summer, which I highly recommend you should, I have one tip to make the experience top!

EAT IT IMMEDIATELY!

Homemade ice cream does not keep well. It gets ice crystals in the freezer, so if you’re planning to have people over for sundaes, this is one job you shouldn’t do in advance. If for some reason you don’t finish it all and want to store it, the less you open the freezer door the better. Or you could take some of my overnight cookies (which do stay fresh longer) and make ice cream sandwiches. Yum!
